Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner and watching the gorgeous sky, Ran Qianxi, who had already been drunk, could finally rest in peace. The others returned to their rooms one by one, and only Ran Qianxi, Li Zhengzhong and Tan Qianhuan were left in the dining hall.

After stumbling for a while, she groped her way back to the room in a daze. Tan Qianhuan, who wanted to stay and take care of her, was afraid of offending her again, so he could only carefully help her into the room and hand her over to Li Zhengzhong. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, his left hand was grabbed. He turned back and stared into her eyes. She looked slightly tipsy, but it seemed that she was not drunk.

Li Zhengzhong saw the intimate scene and after some mental struggle he directly pulled Ran Qianxi's hand away.

"It's getting late, please go back, Your Majesty."

Ran Qianxi sat up in a daze but was pushed back down by Li Zhengzhong.

"Ah Qian, go to sleep well. I will keep you company."

"No, no, no, let's guard together, Tan Qianhuan, don't leave."

The simple plea seemed to stir up the already turbulent sea in Tan Qianhuan's heart. How could he bear to turn around and leave after hearing the plain and understandable plea?

"Okay, we'll keep watch with you."

Although they said they were staying up all night, Ran Qianxi fell into a deep sleep in less than a cup of tea. She forced the two of them to lie on the bed and they dared not move. They slept together until dawn, with one of them hugging the other in the first half of the night and the other in the second.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people were visiting relatives and friends on the streets, but the most lively place in the whole Xiao County was still the Ran Mansion. The favored manor spent a huge sum of money to buy gorgeous clothes as a gift for Ran Qianxi, and the gifts prepared by small officials in the prefectures and counties for the Grand Secretary had piled up into a mountain, not to mention the treasures presented to Xiahou Jin by the people in the Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that the place was bustling and endless.

The sun was already high in the sky, and it was past noon when Ran Qianxi finally woke up with difficulty. Although she was sober, she still had a headache.

Tan Qianhuan saw all her sentimentality yesterday. When she thinks back on it today, it hurts a lot, and that is her heart.

She slept soundly in his arms. When she woke up in the morning, perhaps it was a habit she had developed in her previous life, she hugged Tan Qianhuan tightly and kissed him, even though Li Zhengzhong was still in bed.

"Oh my god! What am I doing!"

She sat up in shock and woke up Li Zhengzhong. Tan Qianhuan was still savoring the good morning kiss.

"Good morning, Xier."

Ran Qianxi smiled awkwardly, put her hand back and touched Li Zhengzhong's crotch, and was immediately burned!

"Good morning."

He did not feel embarrassed, but smiled: "Good morning, A Qian."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Chong Zhi went straight into the inner courtyard and found Ran Qianxi's door accurately. The two men in the room immediately entered combat mode...

Chongzhi: "Second brother, are you up?"

Ran Qianxi got out of bed with a smile on her face but hadn't put on her clothes yet. Tan Qianhuan and Li Zhengzhong reached out to stop her but they couldn't even catch the hem of her skirt.

"Brother Chongzhi."

She pushed open the door with joy and anticipation, knowing that the other party had come to give her a gift. The first thing she asked upon opening the door was: "What did you buy for me?"

Chong Zhi pretended to be disappointed and said, "You really get straight to the point."

Seeing him with his hands behind his back, Ran Qianxi smiled and knew that he had hidden the gift behind him. She tried to grab it but after several rounds it was useless. The wooden box containing the clothes was still motionless in his hands.

Ran Qianxi was so discouraged that even her movements seemed redundant, but Chong Zhi was still playing and joking with her. The two grown men beside her could easily tell that this was not an ordinary friend, but Ran Qianxi and his relationship were just like those between him and Qian Jingyang and Shang Zilai.

"I guess you don't want to give it..."

"Haha."

Chong Zhi smiled gently a few times, and the miserable young man was right in front of him.

"I'll give you three moves."

Ran Qianxi smiled perfunctorily, her interest completely gone.

"You are so tall and I am so small. Even if you give me thirty moves, I still can't get it."

"Why don't you try again?"

Seeing Chong Zhi approaching and being a little careless, Ran Qianxi came up with a plan to catch him off guard, but unexpectedly, the two of them fell to the ground together as if they had agreed!

Taking this opportunity, she quickly took the gift and still lay on Chongzhi's body. The intimate actions between the two were so ambiguous that made people blush.

Ran Qianxi: "Let me see what it is."

She opened the gift box expectantly, and a dazzlingly luxurious brocade dress came into view. She stood up and it was not difficult to see the disappointment on Chongzhi's face. He seemed to want to hug her for a while longer.

"Oh my god, this skirt must be really expensive, right? Is it inlaid with pearls all over? It's so shiny?"

Chong Zhi: "A pearl that's too big would be too heavy for you to wear, so I had someone change it to a smaller one. The price is about the same, but once it's broken into pieces, it won't be as valuable as before."

"Oh my god, this is so heavy! It's not as valuable as before, but it's still out of stock."

Chong Zhi: "You can wear it as you like. If it gets worn out, we can get a new one."

Ran Qianxi fiddled with her clothes excitedly, then turned around and hugged Chongzhi tightly.

"Oh my, I still have to be the young master."

After she finished speaking, Chong Zhi took out a crystal clear red pendant. Ran Qianxi immediately smiled with joy: "Blackfish stone? Did you catch it yourself?"

Chong Zhi: "I caught it and sharpened it myself. This one is in excellent condition and is the rarest and most precious of its kind."

Ran Qianxi took the pendant and played with it.

“Much better than the ones I bought.”

Chong Zhi said casually: "Take it, take it, take it all, take whatever you like."

Ran Qianxi returned to the room holding the gift she loved so much that she couldn't let it go, and the three of them waited outside. After a while, she changed into a new dress and came out. She was dazzling and radiant, and her exquisite and beautiful face was three parts majestic and four parts charming, which always caught their attention easily.

Ran Qianxi: "Does it look good?"

Chongzhi watched for a moment and praised it generously.

"She has a charming smile and beautiful eyes."

Ran Qianxi was complacent.

"Have fun today, I'll treat you tonight."

Seeing her happy, Tan Qianhuan naturally felt happy too. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had never given her any decent gift.

At this moment, Ning Chenfei suddenly received an urgent letter, and Baili Yong ordered someone to deliver the holy call as fast as possible!

"Miss, someone is coming from the palace."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and one could already smell the danger.

Ran Qianxi turned around with a nervous heart, and Ning Chenfei immediately stepped forward and lifted her skirt. It could be seen that this was the personal bodyguard hired for her by her family in her early years.

Ran Qianxi strode to the main hall. Tan Qianhuan did not follow her. Li Zhengzhong and Chong Zhi followed her on the left and right.

Chief Steward Sun was reading the imperial edict in the main hall. Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi were both kneeling on the ground. Looking to the left, they saw that the young eunuch was holding two imperial edicts in his hands.
